Slow Food Denver visits Den Farm next month

You'll need to hurry if you want to sign up for Slow Food Denver's tour of Den Farm -- tickets are going fast.

Den Farm is the facility that brothers Yasu and Toshi Kizaki, who own Sushi Den and Izakaya Den, started last year in Brighton. "Our parents were farmers," Yasu told Laura Shunk this spring, when they installed a new greenhouse. "It's been a vision for a long time, but it's hard work."

Den Farm raises chickens as well as vegetables.
